2,4,4-trimethylpentan-2-ol

Description:

2,4,4-Trimethylpentan-2-ol, with the CAS number 690-37-9, is a tertiary alcohol characterized by its branched structure, which contributes to its unique physical and chemical properties. This compound features a hydroxyl (-OH) group attached to a carbon atom that is also bonded to three other carbon atoms, making it a tertiary alcohol. It is typically a colorless liquid with a mild odor and is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic hydrocarbon chains. The presence of multiple methyl groups enhances its steric hindrance, influencing its reactivity and boiling point. 2,4,4-Trimethylpentan-2-ol is often used as a solvent and in the synthesis of various organic compounds. Its stability and relatively low toxicity make it suitable for various industrial applications. Additionally, it can participate in reactions typical of alcohols, such as dehydration and oxidation, which can lead to the formation of ketones or alkenes under appropriate conditions.
